Samajwadi Party leader and former MP Azam Khan was arrested by the Enforcement Directorate minutes after he walked out of Rampur district jail on bail, after nearly 11 months behind bars. The ED moved to take him into custody outside the jail and said Khan will be produced before a PMLA court in Ghaziabad for custodial interrogation. The central agency has booked Khan and others under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act. The case is linked to allegations tied to 58 UP police FIRs registered against Khan and his alleged associates. The ED’s action follows its attachment of assets connected to Khan’s Mohammad Ali Jauhar University in Rampur. In a statement, the agency said it attached the land and building of the university and that the properties have a current market value of Rs 1,170 crore. The ED alleged that government funds meant for public works were diverted for construction of the private varsity. Khan had raised his own allegations while speaking to reporters outside the jail. A demolition order was issued by the Rampur Development Authority for 38 buildings on the university campus in July, and the varsity appealed. Khan’s arrest came moments after he and his son, former MLA Abdullah Azam Khan, secured relief in the two PAN card case when the Allahabad High Court suspended their sentence earlier this week. Khan is now in ED custody and is set to be produced before the PMLA court in Ghaziabad for a remand request for custodial interrogation.
